Interdisciplinary Studies

IDST 37 Ethnic and Racial Groups in the U.S. (3)
LEC-3 P/NP available.

An interdisciplinary survey of the historical, social, political, economic and cultural processes undergone by racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. from the 19th Century to the present, this course explores how race and ethnicity define the experiences of all people in the U.S. Readings and lectures examine inter-group (e.g. African American-Asian Pacific Islander American-Latino-Middle Eastern-Native American-European American) and intra-group challenges within today’s ethnic communities. In individual and group projects, students research issues such as employment, education, housing, health and immigration. Films and speakers enrich the understanding of these issues.
